So Mods, may we or may we not have a roast?

[Torillian]

I will mention it to Machina and see if we can figure something out in that vein, but for the moment assume no and I'll get back to this thread.  My main issue with the idea would be that a Roast is great because you know that the person taking the heat can take a joke since they volunteered for it, and the persons making the jokes don't mean it in a hurtful way but usually are friends with the person being insulted.

The only versions of a roast thread I could imagine working would be one about a specific person who volunteered to be the target, or roasting the consoles/videogames of 2010 for a certain amount of time in which the rules would be one line jokes were allowed and people were not allowed to argue for or against any joke.  Basically if you don't have a joke to post all you can do is read the thread.  And the thread would be locked after a week or so.  I will talk these possibilities over with Machina if nothing else because I think it would be an interesting experiment to see what the community would do with it..
